More preferably, the notification/reminder is carried out by using a mobile phone through a network. Most preferably, the notification/reminder is carried out by a mobile phone system using WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). [0027]
  • The abovementioned reminder is based on whether a hypertensive patient has reported the measured blood pressure within a certain period of time after receiving a notification (or a previous reminder). Of course, the number of times of reminding can also be set to a default value, e.g. stop reminding, when no response from the patient is received after a specified number of reminders. [0028]

  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a system of periodically recording and watching blood pressure for use in a hospital, in which the database server uses a computer and a UNIX system, the network server uses a computer and a UNIX system, and the communication device uses a WAP system. The database server and the communication device are connected to the network server. [0046]
  • A new patient only needs to enter the required data to the database of blood pressure before, after or at the time of measuring the blood pressure. [0047]
  • In another embodiment, the method of the present invention includes setting up the database for new patients. As shown in FIG. 3, the method of this embodiment is similar to that shown in FIG. 1, with the addition of three determination formulas: “whether this is a new client (patient)?”, “whether this is an old hypertensive patient?”, and “whether this is a new hypertensive patient?”. The method according to this embodiment first decides whether a person taking a blood pressure measurement is a new client (patient) or not. A new patient is required to enter the basic data before the measurement. The blood pressure measurement is then recorded and is used for diagnosis. The status of the client will be checked to decide whether the client is an old hypertensive patient or not. If the client is not an old hypertensive patient, he/she will be decided as a new hypertensive patient or not based on the blood pressure data. If the answer is “Yes”, the status of the client will be changed to a hypertensive patient and put into the watching list. If the answer is “No”, the client will not be put into the watching list. If the client is an old hypertensive patient, he/she will be put in the watching list directly. The method will then decide whether the blood pressure data of the client is to be printed, so that the client can receive the printing report which may include the historical data of blood pressure, the trend diagram of blood pressure, etc. The steps thereafter are same as those shown in FIG. 1. [0048]
  • The printing report may further include the data listed in Table 1 and the suggestions for controlling the hypertension listed in Table 2. [0049]
